The authors examine increases in marriage age among women in
Africa. They show that "this evolution towards later marriage is
linked to schooling, but changes are also emerging among women who have
not attended school....[The authors] show that the growing proportions
of single women are not merely the result of marriage postponement, but
a sign of more in-depth changes which are transforming African urban
societies."

nuptiality during the period prior to the demographic transition. In
populations in which women married at an early age and where marriage
for them was nearly universal, the first stages of the transition
coincided with changes in nuptiality, but fertility did not begin to
fall until several decades later."

cohabitors and noncohabitors in instability. Moreover, controlling for
background differences, only serial cohabitation is associated with
greater instability among intact first marriages of up to 10 years

"Census and vital statistics

the effects of mate availability, men's and women's levels of
socioeconomic status and employment, level of public assistance,
population size, and region on several aspects of family formation and
family structure among African Americans. As predicted by theory, mate
availability as measured by the sex ratio had a positive effect on
marriage prevalence for women and a negative effect on marriage
prevalence for men....Men's socioeconomic status had positive effects
on men's and women's marriage prevalence, the prevalence of
husband-wife families, the percentage of children residing in
husband-wife families, and the percentage of marital births. Women's
socioeconomic status and level of public assistance had negative
effects on these variables. We conclude that mate availability, men's
socioeconomic status, women's status and economic independence are
important determinants of African American family formation and family
structure."

In this study, the
author attempts to develop a theory that integrates the labor and
marriage markets. She uses data, primarily from Israel and the United
States, to predict the effects of particular factors, such as
individual resources and market size, on individual and market labor
supply and marital choices. The approach is interdisciplinary,
combining aspects of sociology, demography, and anthropology, as well
as economics. In Part 1, the author examines reasons why the economic
analysis of marriage has not been widely attempted. Part 2 presents
the author's general equilibrium theory of labor and marriage. Parts 3
and 4 consider some implications of the theory for the study of sex
ratio effects and compensating differentials in marriage. Part 5
provides further applications to the study of cohabitation, divorce,
and polygamy. Part 6 examines how a spouse's help increases a person's
human capital.

census data to describe patterns of spouse selection among the
native-born children of European immigrants. The analysis builds on
previous studies of ethnic intermarriage, but is new in that it focuses
specifically on the second generation. In addition, it considers
intermarriage as a multidimensional phenomenon and evaluates how the
relative importance of national and educational boundaries in marriage
choice has changed. Comparisons of synthetic marriage cohorts suggest
that second generation European Americans marry increasingly into the
native stock, they marry increasingly out of their national origin
group, and the national boundaries that separate them have become
weaker over time. At the same time, it is found that educational
homogamy has increased across cohorts."

"Using data from the 1987-1988
[U.S.] National Survey of Families and Households, this paper studies
the role of the religious composition of unions as a determinant of
marital stability. With the exceptions of Mormons and individuals with
no religious identification, stability is found to be remarkably
similar across the various types of homogamous unions. Consistent with
the notion that religion is a complementary marital trait, interfaith
unions have generally higher rates of dissolution than intrafaith
unions. The destabilizing effect of out-marriage varies inversely with
the similarity in beliefs and practices of the two religions as well as
with the mutual tolerance embodied in their respective doctrines. The
results also suggest that religious compatibility between spouses at
the time of marriage has a large influence on marital stability,
rivaling in magnitude that of age at marriage and, at least for
Protestants and Catholics, dominating any adverse effects of
differences in religious background."

from the Indian census. It is found that a 'marriage squeeze' caused
by population growth which resulted in a surplus of younger women in
the marriage market, has played an important role in the increase in
dowries. Other factors that increase the size of dowries include
differences in the landholdings of the parental households, and
residence in regions in the more northerly parts of

May 1993. 408-14 pp. Minneapolis, Minnesota. In Eng.
"This paper
examines the extent to which cohabitation resembles marriage by
comparing patterns of partner choice in the formation of married and
cohabiting couples....On the assumption that cohabitations are not
'informal marriages' but relationships formed by a 'looser bond,' we
use exchange theory to predict differences in partner choice. Since
cohabitations are less permanent than marriages, we hypothesize that
choices of a cohabitation partner give greater weight than choices of a
marriage partner to achieved characteristics (such as education) which
can reflect a short-term ability to contribute to the relationship. In
turn, we expect that choices of a cohabitation partner give less weight
to ascribed characteristics (such as age, race, and religion) that

Pamela J. The economic costs of marital disruption for
young women over the past two decades. Demography, Vol. 30, No. 3,
Aug 1993. 353-71 pp. Washington, D.C. In Eng.
"This paper examines
the economic costs of separation and divorce for young women in the
United States from the late 1960s through the late 1980s. Broadened
opportunities for women outside marriage may have alleviated some of
the severe economic costs of marital disruption for women. This paper
contrasts the experiences of two cohorts of young women: those who
married and separated or divorced in the late 1960s through the
mid-1970s and those who experienced these events in the 1980s. Based
on panel data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth
1979-1988, Young Women 1968-1978, and Young Men 1966-1978, the results
show stability in the costs of disruption. A multivariate analysis
shows that young women in the more recent cohort have more labor force
experience before disruption than those in the earlier cohort, but
prior work history does not protect women from the severe costs of
marital disruption."

Annual Meeting of the Population Association of

Trends in first marriage in Czechoslovakia are analyzed for
the period 1961-1988. A general decline in the popularity of marriage
is noted as being in common with most other European countries,
particularly for older persons. The existence of social policies that
benefit only married couples, such as those regarding housing
allocation, is not seen to affect significantly the trend away from
marriage.

importance of changes at entry into marriage and motherhood, and
evaluate consequences of the increasing number of childless women for
intergenerational relationships in old age; second, we will address the
significance and impact of declining family size; and third, we will
assess the rise of consensual unions among the younger generation and
its effects. In the latter step we will conduct a detailed empirical
analysis drawing on recent data from the Federal Republic of Germany

"The question I
would like to raise in this essay is whether the French data available
to historians through family reconstitution--especially data on
peasants and urban workers since the seventeenth century--can be used
to verify Rowntree's and Chayanov's models about recurrent poverty
during the life course of proletarian families. In other words, can
Rowntree's notion of a 'primary poverty line' be used to understand a
population of the preindustrial urban poor in Europe, as Chayanov's
ideas often are?...[The author concludes that] Rowntree's model did not
work at all in the case of our [study of] proletarian families in the
large French city of Rheims (which had some 30,000 inhabitants) before
the French Revolution....Rowntree's conception of an oscillation of
poor families above and below a poverty line, in the final analysis,
seems to concern more a newly industrialized population than a
preindustrial one." Benjamin S. Rowntree's poverty line model first
appeared in "Poverty: A Study of Town Life," New York, New

"This article examines how
urbanization and the introduction of welfare legislation affected the
household position of the elderly in Iceland during the period
1880-1930. Using a life-course perspective it is shown that
urbanization created a new form of kinship network during the period.
This enabled the elderly to rely on the assistance of offspring
although increasingly heading households of their own. In the
countryside the growth of owner-occupancy, and a decline in the
institution of service, led to a higher age at leaving home and better
possibilities for the elderly to continue running a farm at an advanced
age with the assistance of grown-up
offspring."
